Williams III, Juvenile Justice PURPOSE AND GOALS School of Juvenile Justice and Psychology Academic Programs The School of Juvenile Justice & Psychology is the academic unit housing the undergraduate and graduate program s for Crim inal Justice, Juvenile Justice, Juvenile Forensic Psychology, and Psychology. Its purpose is to provide education and training in juvenile justice-allied disciplines and to produc e students w ho will ultim ately improve the juvenile justice system and work to resolve the problems of delinquency. The School of Juvenile Justice & Psychology at Prairie View A&M University offers un dergrad uate courses leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice or Criminal Justice with a Specialization in Juvenile Justice as well as a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology. The School also offers graduate courses leading to a Master of Science Degree in Juvenile Justice, a Master of Science Degree in Juvenile Forensic Psychology, and a Ph.D. Degree in Juvenile Justice. The School seeks a diverse group of qualified students with backgrounds in various disciplines committed to improving the life experiences of youths involved in the Juvenile Justice System. Master of Science in Juvenile Justice The Master of Science program in Juvenile Justice offers a cu rriculum that enables students to critically evaluate and confront the humanistic, technical, and scientific aspects of criminal justice as applicable to juvenile crime and delinquency. Specifically, the primary objectives of the Master of Science in Juvenile Justice are to: 97

2 $ Enhance students= knowledge, skills, and resourcefulness related to detained and institutionalized juveniles in the juvenile justice system $ Increase students= knowledge of theoretical explanations and the etiologies of delinquency and juvenile crime $ Assure that students engage in the humanistic, technical, and scientific aspects of delinquency and juvenile crime $ Increase students= knowledge concerning effective methods to intervene and prevent delinquency $ Increase students= skills in how to conduct research and evaluate programs related to delinquency $ Expan d students= knowledge of programs and policies related to delinquency Since there are no comparable degree programs in the nation, graduates will have a unique opportunity to acquire specialized skills and competencies that should positively impact the lives of troubled youth across the state of Texas. Master of Science in Juvenile Forensic Psychology The Master of Science degree in Juvenile Forensic Psychology is a unique program in the State of Texas, and probably the only degree of its kind in the world. Its creation is in keeping with the intent of the timely and insightful action of the Texas Legislature in its determination to fo cus on ch ildren in the creation of the Texas Juvenile Crime Preven tion Center at Prairie View A& M Un iversity. The student in the graduate program of Juvenile Forensic Psychology at Prairie View A&M University will study psychological theories of behavior, misbehavior, and deviance. Specifically, the primary objectives of the Master of Science in Juvenile Forensic Psychology are to: $ Enhan ce students= knowledge of how psychology interacts with the law and the legal system $ Increase students= knowledge of theoretical explanations of juvenile delinquency, juvenile crime, and juvenile aggression, especially from the viewpoint of psychological theories $ Provide studen ts with skills in research methodology and statistics; $ Enhance students= knowledge of the cognitive and personality development of youth especially as it pertains to aggression in various stages; $ Increase students= knowledge of the psychological dynamics of family violence such as child abuse, spouse abuse, incest, and other forms of interfamilial violence; $ Provide students w ith know ledge and skills pertaining to the assessmen t, classification, and treatment of juvenile offenders; and $ Provide students with skills in psychological assessment and evaluation Doctor of Philosophy in Juvenile Justice The goal of the Ph.D. program is to provide doctoral training in juvenile justice research. General objectives include the development of new knowledge, juvenile crime prevention and improvem ent in the juvenile justice system, and dissemination of knowledge gained. The specific intention of the program is to produce scholars with three characteristics: First, graduates will have superior empirical skills. Second, they will be specialists in the subject matter of the juvenile justice discipline. Third, they will be generalists in the subject matter of criminal justice. The program produc es scholars to teach in criminal justice and criminology departmen ts of colleges and universities and researchers to work in federal, state, and large local agencies. The Texas Juvenile Crime Prevention Center In 1997, the Texas Legislature authorized the creation of the Texas Juvenile Crime Prevention Center (Texas JCPC) at Prairie View A&M University. This resulted in the creation of the School of Juven ile 98

3 Justice and Psycho logy. The Texas JCPC is uniqu e in the state of Texas and the nation and is committed to assisting with the reduction of juvenile crime and delinquency among youth. The purpose of the Texas JCPC is to: $ Increase the knowledge of educators, practitioners, and others by conducting research and evaluation relating to juvenile crime $ Improve the knowledge and skills of students in the field of criminal justice by offering undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees, and continuing education $ Improve the dissemination of information relating to the reduction of juvenile crime $ Increase knowledge about programs and policies that address juvenile crime $ Enhance the skills of personnel by providing training and advice for practitioners engaged in juvenile crime and delinquency prevention INSTRUCTIONAL ORGANIZATION Program Juvenile Justice Juvenile Forensic Psychology Juvenile Justice Degree Offered Master of Science Master of Science Doctor of Philosophy ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS The Master of Science Programs In addition to the general admission requirements to the graduate school described elsewhere in the catalogue, students seeking admission to the M.S. degrees in juvenile justice and juvenile forensic psychology should m eet the following req uirements: 1.

Letters of recommendation from faculty sufficiently acquainted with the student to be able to comment on the potential to successfully complete a doctoral program and demonstrating evidence of excellent critical thought, motivation, study skills, and writing skills. Preferred ratings would be primarily excellent in all categories with an overall rating in the top 3 to 10 percent of all graduate students. Enhancing qualities: The committee will consider the following as information that will enhance an application: 1. Three or more years of paid work experience in a juvenile justice agency (law enforcement, probation/parole, or correctional institution). 2. Completion of a previous doctoral degree in any field. 3. College-level teaching experience, either as a part-time or full-time instructor. 4. Publication(s) in academic and/or scholarly outlets, with greatest emphasis on peer-reviewed publications. 5.

Interview: In the event the initial committee decision is favorable, applicants must submit to an interview with the Doctoral Committee prior to final acceptance. That interview may be either in person or via the equivalent of a telephone conference call, depending upon the distance and hardship involved in a personal interview. Applicants will be ad mitted in o ne of two statuses: full graduate status or provisional status. 1. Full graduate status is conferred on those students admitted to the program with no conditions of admission, or who have sa tisfied all cond itions of admission. 2. Provisional admission status is used when the D octoral Com mittee feels that prerequisites have not been met, official versions of required forms have not been received, and/or there is a question of ability to perform at doctoral standards by virtue of a failure to meet specific 100

5 admissions criteria. Students who are provisionally admitted must satisfy all requirements prior to being ad mitted to fu ll graduate status (conditions and requirem ents will be provided via letter to the studen t). In the event of a failure to meet prerequisites, deficiencies must be completed prior to beginning doctoral course work. No doctoral course work may be taken w hen there are prerequ isite deficiencies nor may stem work be used to meet doctoral program requirem ents. Where stemwork is assigned to rectify deficiencies, any grade lower than will autom atically result in a decision to deny adm ission. No more than 12 units of course work may be taken in provision al status. It is the student=s responsibility to ensure that all conditions of admission are met in a timely fashion and to notify the doctora l coordinator when all conditions are m et. Following the first semester in provisional status (non-prerequisite-deficiency cases), the Doctoral Committee will meet to consider placing the studen t in full gradu ate status. Based on the evidence at h and, the C omm ittee may admit to full graduate status or dismiss from the program. No student will be accepted in courses unless he/she is in full graduate status or provisional status within the Juvenile Justice Doctoral Program. MASTER OF SCIENCE IN JUVENILE JUSTICE DEGREE PROGRAM The MSJJ Program requires the completion of 36 semester credit hours. Two options are available for students: thesis and non-thesis. Students opting for the thesis curriculum must successfully co mplete 30 hours of course work in addition to 6 hours of thesis. The non-thesis option requires the successful completion of 36 hours of course work and passing a comprehensive examination. Additionally, graduate students are to complete 200 hours of professional internship with agencies or programs servicing juvenile delinquents.

Only 6 hours may be from courses lower than the 7000 level. The Juvenile Justice Ph.D. Program has no tracks. There is a comm on core and students may develop a specialty by structuring their choice of substantive courses, elective courses, and dissertation topic. Courses taken during a master=s degree p rogram may not be repeated for cre dit at the doc toral level. No more than two (2 ) courses lower than the 7000 level may be applied toward fulfilling the requirem ents of the Ph.D. program. Courses lower than the 7000 level must be approved by the Doctoral Coordinator prior to enrolling. In no event will more than one lower-level course in each of the theory and juvenile justice areas be approved. Transfer of Graduate Courses from Other Universities A maximum of six (6) units of juvenile-justice-related doctoral-level course work may be transferred from other accredited universities. A minimum grade of is required in any such courses. Transfer credit is granted by petition to, and approval by, the Doctoral Committee, with final approval by the Dean of the School. It is the student s responsibility to initiate the petition and justify the acceptance of the courses. In the event a student has taken less than 7000-level courses to be used toward the course work requirements of the doctoral program, the number of allowed transfer units are reduced 103

8 on a one-for-one basis. Courses presented for transfer credit must be the equivalent of courses in the doctoral program. Continuous Enrollment Continuous enrollment defines the minimal level of academic activity needed to remain enrolled in the program. A Ph.D. student is considered to be continuously enrolled when he or she is enrolled for at least one course during each of the Spring and Fall academic semesters. Once a Ph.D. student has been admitted to candidacy he or she mu st enroll for a minimum of 6 hours during the 12-m onth academ ic year to be continuously enrolled. Students who fail to meet the continuous enrollment criteria will be with drawn from the program and must apply for readmission. The sole exception is enrollment during comprehensive exams. Students taking comprehensive exams are not required to be enrolled in course work. Residency Students must estab lish course work residency before being adm itted to cand idacy. The residency requirem ent is consid ered to be met when a student has been continuously enrolled on campus for two consecutive semesters (excluding the summer semester). Leave of Absence Graduate students who have not com pleted their formal course requirements are expected to enroll continuously in the program during all consecutive long semesters after initial registration. Studen ts who do not ex pect to be enrolled should request a leave of absence in a letter to the Doctoral Coordinator. A leave of absence is granted at the discretion of the Dean. This provision includes stu dents who have completed their formal course requirements and are writing the dissertation away from the campus. During a leave of absence, a student cannot make use of the University or School of Juvenile Justice and Psychology resources, nor can a student attempt comprehensive exams or defend a dissertation. Good Standing Ph.D. students remain in good standing when they maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 for graded courses in the doctoral program. Only grades of or better count toward required course work (i.e., all but the elective courses) and d issertation ho urs. Any grade lower than in a required area course will necessitate that the course be retaken and passed with a grade of or higher. While one elective grade of may be counted toward the Ph.D., only grades of or better ind icate satisfactory completion of courses required for the Ph.D. If a second such grade is earned, the student will be dismissed from the program, but may petition the Doctoral Committee for readmission. After reviewing the petition, the committee may allow readmission under such conditions as it deems appropriate. A third grade lower than "B" will result in permanent dismissal from the program with no recourse to petition. Time L imit A student must complete all requirements for the Ph.D. degree within seven (7) consecutive years after the first date of enrollment in the program. If transfer courses are permitted, the initial enrollment date of those courses must not exceed seven years prior to the date the degree is awarded. Comprehensive Examination Before they may be admitted to candidacy, students must successfully complete their doctoral examinations. These examinations are employed to test the student=s general knowledge, his or her ability to integrate and synthesize the wealth of information in the field, and his or her preparation for engaging in the kind of independent scholarship required to complete a doctoral dissertation. Students failing any portion of the comprehensive examination s must consult with th e Doctoral Coord inator to 104

9 determine the steps to be taken. Two con secutive failures on an y exam ination will result in the student=s dismissal from the Ph.D. program. Advancement to Candidacy Following successful completion of the comprehensive examinations, it is the stud ent's respon sibility to petition for advancement to candidacy. To be advanced to candidacy, students must have completed all of the following req uirements and /or procedures: 1. Achieved a cumulative grade-point average no lower than 3.0 in program course work and a minimum grade of (3.0) in all required area courses. 2. Completed all program course work with no more than one grade lower than (unless the student successfully petitions his or her dismissal and retakes a second course with a grade of or higher). 3. Successfully passed all comprehensive examinations. Students admitted to candidacy are required to accumulate a minimum of 6 credit hours during each twelve month period following admission to candidacy and until such time as the degree is granted. Further, a student must be enrolled for a minimum of 3 dissertation hou rs during any sem ester in which University resources are used. Assistantship students must continue to meet the enrollment criteria for maintaining their assistantship. Any exception to this policy requires the approval of the Doctoral Program Coordinator and the Dean of the School of Juvenile Justice & Psychology. Students who fail to enroll for the appropriate number of hours following advancement to candidacy shall be placed on probation. To be removed from probation, the student must enroll for the deficient number of credits plus three additional credits in the next semester. Students who do not meet these requirements will be dismissed from the doctoral program and req uired to reapply for admission, subject to any new admissions criteria in effect at the time of readmission. Dissertation Following approval of the student=s application to candidacy, the student may en roll in Dissertation hours. Two attempts at passing both the dissertation prospectus defense and the dissertation defense are permitted. Having met other requirements for the degree, students who successfully defend their dissertations and complete the submission process are granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the commencement ceremony immediately following. Failure to pass either the dissertation prospectus defense or the dissertation defense will result in the student=s dismissal fro m the program. The determination of completion requirem ents for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Juvenile Justice is solely the province of the program faculty. Financial Assistance The Graduate Programs of the School offer a limited number of graduate assistantships to qualified full-time students. Students who receive such an award are required to assist faculty on research projects and/or teach courses in the undergraduate programs. Criteria for assignment of master s assistantships include quantitative information (GPA, GRE scores) and qualitative information (undergraduate preparation, writing, and letters of recommendation). Criteria for assignment of doctoral assistantships to new students include quantitative information (graduate GPA, GRE scores and TOEFL scores) and qualitative and/or supplemental information (letters of recommendation, examples of student writing, applicant s statement of interest and intent, preparation in the field of study, academ ic publicatio ns, previous college-level teaching experience, research work in the field, and grant-writing experience). No standardized test score will be used as the sole criterion for awarding assistantships or for rejecting applicants for assistantships. 105
